The green wave that we created engulfed the minds of Bangaloreans for the coming years .We foresaw an event highly charged with energy and focused towards the cause. We aimed to leave an everlasting imprint in the minds of the people that they are galvanized though our collective and inclusive action.

A green expo inviting NGO’s working in the field of environment and Corporate with green solutions to showcase their work was held. This created mass awareness on all aspects –the problem, cause and the solutions available to tackle the problem in one event.
